Ga. Home Of Vick For Sale

Michael Vick's home in a gated, golf-course community in Duluth, Ga., is listed for sale at $4.5 million.

"It is an incredible home - a marble foyer and spiral staircases going upstairs into the terrace level," said Tony Funari, a real estate agent.

The house on the lake was listed for sale Thursday, Funari said. He is part of the Funari Team that's selling the house for the Waters Realty Group. They're still preparing a virtual tour and getting it ready for viewings, he said.

"We're uploading pictures," he said. "There's a lot still to be done."

Vick, a Newport News native and quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, pleaded guilty in August to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge months after pit bulls and dogfighting equipment were found at property he owned in Surry County. He was also charged by a Surry County grand jury with promoting or engaging in dogfighting and beating, killing or causing dogs to fight. He'll find out his local trial date Nov. 27 and will be sentenced in the federal case Dec. 10.

The Georgia house went on the market about a week and a half after an arbitrator declared the Falcons could reclaim nearly $20 million from him. Three banks are trying to recover money. All together, he's on the hook for about $25.3 million.

The house is in the Sugarloaf Country Club. A listing for the house on Realtor.com says it was built in 2004. It has seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half baths. Estimated payments are $23,206 per month. The property tax bill is $26,719.

Gwinnett County property records show that Vick bought the house in April 2005 for nearly $3.8 million. The two-story house has 9,532 square feet on the main floors and 5,949 square feet in the basement. The 1.5-acre lot and house are appraised at almost $2.1 million.
